Mother says her son was jumped at subway station
The boy's mother says her 16-year-old son, Dakari White, was alone when he was attacked at the station at Stillwell Avenue and Surf Avenue on Monday in Coney Island.
The group was cursing and using racial slurs during the attack on her son, police sources said.
"They beat him. They have pictures, they posted pictures of him on the floor. They chased him and they beat him again at another section of this train station," White said.
She said her son's sneakers were taken during the attack and that he suffered face and head injuries before a good Samaritan called 911. Her son is recovering at home, she added.
"I want justice for my son," White said.
Following the attack, a 16-year-old was arrested and charged with gang assault and robbery as hate crimes. Police said they're looking for six more suspects.
